Description

Truing tool, calibration steps, fiber stub assembly and the joints of optical fibre
Technical field
The invention belongs to joints of optical fibre field, the fiber stub assembly that the present invention relates to a kind of truing tool for the position of fiber optic calibration (comprise that conventional single-core fiber, many fibre cores list are fine, the many optical fiber of Cheng Shu or many fibre bundles, mention " optical fiber " below presents and have and indicate that contain identical refers to meaning herein) in the interior hole of fiber stub and calibration steps and produced by this kind of truing tool and calibration steps and the joints of optical fibre. Specifically, the present invention proposes a kind of use and (there is relatively aperture, imperial palace hole and bias based on the slotting core of low precision, insert core such as similar multimode or insert the specification of the lower requirement of core than multimode) manufacture low cost, high-performance (low insertion loss), the novel technique that is easy to the single-mode fiber junctor of operation, revolutionize single-mode fiber junctor and high precision must be used to insert the prior art of core (the junctor of ultra-low loss uses the slotting core of the ultrahigh precision single mode of high cost).
Background technology
The slotting core being applied to the joints of optical fibre, also known as pin body. slotting core is the core component of the joints of optical fibre, and it is a kind of high precision components become by precision processing technology. in joints of optical fibre manufacturing process, usual employing will be peeled off and clean bare fibre passes the interior hole being full of glue, then solidified glue, is fixed on optical fiber in slotting core, then makes required optical fiber connector via a series of programs such as polishing, polishing, tests. inevitable error can be produced due to all manufacturing processedes and introduce tolerance artificially in order to dimensional fits/assembling needs, such as, diameter of bore is greater than optical fiber external diameter so that optical fiber can be worn in interior hole, such optical fiber external diameter and hole size need to there is inborn deviation, for another example, decentraction and interior hole and alignment fiducials (junctor taking cylindrical as alignment fiducials is mainly referred to slotting core external diameter) is there is and there is processing and manufacturing error etc. in optical fiber axle center and interior hole owing to there being space, these factors all can cause the transverse excursion in optical fiber axle center, thus affect the insertion loss when joints of optical fibre dock.
Owing to the mode field diameter of single-mode fiber is more much smaller than the mode field diameter of multimode optical fibers (for most of optical fiber communication, it it is roughly the relation of 1/5 to 1/6, such as, the representative diameter of the fibre core of the single-mode fiber of standard is about 9 ��m, the diameter of the fibre core of the multimode optical fibers of standard is generally 50 ��m or 62.5 ��m), therefore, the alignment precision of single-mode fiber requires will far away higher than the alignment precision requirement to multimode optical fibers, like this, the slotting core precision that the slotting core precision that single-mode fiber junctor uses to be used higher than multimode optical fibers junctor far away.
Single mode is inserted core and the relative dimensions of slotting core being required, the dimensional requirement in the concentricity of mainly hole and exterior circular column in slotting core diameter of bore and slotting core is very high, slotting for contrast single mode core and multimode is inserted the dimension precision requirement of core in the following aspects below:
1) core exterior circular column diameter tolerance of dimension is inserted
Single mode: insert core exterior circular column diameter size tolerance requirements and reach +/-0.0005mm, that is ,-0.0005mm��0.0005mm;
Multimode: insert core exterior circular column diameter size typical tolerances and require to reach +/-0.001mm, that is ,-0.001mm��0.001mm.
2) core diameter of bore is inserted:
Single mode: insert core diameter of bore tolerance of dimension at 0.000��0.001mm, inserts core hole size for low-loss single mode and even requires 0.0000��0.0005mm;
Multimode: insert core diameter of bore size typical tolerances at 0.000-0.004mm.
3) concentricity requirement of optical fiber and exterior circular column:
Single mode: concentricity general requirement reaches 0.001mm, inserts core for low-loss single mode, and concentricity requirement even reaches 0.0005mm;
Multimode: concentricity general requirement reaches 0.004mm.
In order to ensure to guarantee that single-mode fiber junctor reaches industry standard index of correlation requirement in the fabrication process, field is manufactured at present at the joints of optical fibre, usually use the slotting core of different accuracy requirement respectively for list, multimode optical fibers, namely multimode optical fibers junctor slotting core and single-mode fiber junctor is distinguished with slotting core. single mode/multimode that the joints of optical fibre use inserts its outward appearance of core, structure seems completely identical, but single mode is inserted core and is required very high to the relative dimensions of slotting core, especially in slotting core, the concentricity accuracy requirement of aperture, hole and exterior circular column is extremely high (usually will within 1.5 microns, in order to super low insertion loss when satisfied docking connects, precision even to be controlled in submicron rank-be less than 1 micron), the most direct result of high-precision requirement is, single mode inserts the high cost height causing single mode connector of core cost/price, especially outstanding for ultra-low loss junctor, inserting core cost is almost difference at double.
In the prior art, therefore, the slotting core (as precision is equal to or less than the precision that multimode inserts core) of low precision can not be used to produce the single-mode fiber junctor of high precision.
